Power Monkey Treasure Hunt for Children

All young ones are invited to join the Powder Monkey Treasure Hunt in the pirate encampment on Saturday at 11 AM. This activity is FREE to all children 14 and under thanks to sponsorship by Outlaw Pottery in Cocoa. (www.outlawpottery.com) Children will join The Brethren of the Space Coast on a hunt for hidden treasure, which they will need to capture from a band of bad pirates before taking the treasure chest back to Panama Pearl’s Pirate Ship and sharing in the loot!

Because man lives by more than seafood alone, the festival features an international beer and wine pavilion, an arts and crafts show, a children’s activity zone, carnival rides and games of skill and special events such as the Pirates’ Parade and Party,” when several pirate krewes, including the Brethren of the Space Coast Pirates’ Krewe, strut their stuff.

Swashbuckle with your shipmates in Panama Pearl’s Pirate Encampment!

Panama Pearl, the most beautiful and mysterious pirate captain of all, invites all swashbucklers to her vast pirate encampment in the eastern regions of the festival. Two broad pirate ships have run aground there, where pirates, young and old, may enter the ships and explore their decks. Panama Pearl herself will sit and tell tales of the sea adventures of her and her fellow pirates. Cannons will reign down foam cannon ball wars during the fun times at the encampment.

Meet Jack Sparrow and a real mermaid!

Pirate sword fighting demos, musical shanty groups, roaming pirate troubadours, pirate belly dancers and even a pirate balloon artist make for “aargh-mazing” entertainment. Jack Sparrow will be roaming the festival and encampment, recruiting new pirates – and you can even meet a real mermaid in her tank -all inside the Pirate encampment. Don’t miss the entrancing Kristal Mize and her Hips of Destruction pirate belly dancers as they captivate the onlookers with their wondrous moves.

PIRATE CODE of the CREWS of the PIRATE NATION:

You can be a member of multiple pirate crews. We are all part of the Pirate Nation. Like RUM, different crews have different flavors. We are pirates... all of us sail the seas from ship to ship, wherever the current adventure leads us. One of the beauties about the fun filled world of pirating is that no pirate is limited to the number of crews they can join, the number of events they can attend or the number of costume items they can pack into their trunk. The pirate world is a wide and wonderful place full of opportunities!
